Cheers for doing that. It highlights my point a lot better about the 360.
In those 7 months NPD have 360 at 3.75m units while VGC have it at 3.5m. Which is around 200k or so out as i mentioned before. 6 of those 7 months the 360 was under-tracked. That means undertracking of 85%, that is pretty big.
For the same period NPD have PS3 at 3.72m units. Which is a gap of 300k. That is over the time PS3 had the re-model and price cut. 3 of those 7 months have the PS3 over-tracked which means 42% of the months PS3 has been over-tracked.
Or 2 use just the first 2 months of this year PS3 sold 636k and 360 sold 754k. A difference of already 118k in just 8 weeks. Which as i said before if you incorperate that into the charts/figures it would mean 360 is a lot closer worldwide with PS3 and may have even beaten it 1 week this year.
So like i said in my orgional post i find it odd that for some reason 360 numbers don't seem to be as highly reflected here as they are at NPD. Undertracking the console for 6 of the last 7 months (in some cases by 120k a month) while PS3 has been over-tracked in those 7 months 3 times with Jan and Feb seeing VGC being 30k out on its numbers for the console.
If we use those numbers for FULL weeks data from the start of the year it would see WW sales for PS3 of 1.52m and 1.36m for 360. A gap of just 160k worldwide. Or an average of 20k a week from the start of the year. Currently the gap is about 50k a week on here.
So it really is a complicated one that makes you scratch your head and think are the numbers wrong here or are the numbers wrong at NPD.
The weird thing is if you look at that list of figures at around september and october the numbers are nearly spot on. Did something happen from then onwards like something was changed?
